Title: Improvements in Automatic Fluid Pressure Brake Apparatus for Railway and like Vehicles.
Filed: 1900-11-13
Granted: 1901-11-13
Abstract: 20,447. Westinghouse Brake Co., [Westinghouse, G.]. Nov. 13. Brakes.-Relates to means whereby in coupling and uncoupling the flexible hose pipes, the usual angle cooks are dispensed with, and consists of a valve device for controlling the passage of air through the section of train-pipe on a car and the branch pipe leading to the triple valve. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, when the train-pipe is being charged, air flows through the nozzle 5. ports 9 and 10, and nozzle 6 from one portion of the train-pipe to the other, and also through a nozzle to the triple valve. From the chamber 8 air passes through the passage 16 to the underside of the piston 14, and thence through the ports 17, 18 to the space above the piston, which, being balanced by air pressure, is forced down by the spring 13, while its spindle 15 holds the valve 11 open. To couple or uncouple, the valve 43, Fig. 5, is opened by hand, admitting air from the train-pipe t to the top of the hollow piston 33, which is depressed and unseats the valves 25 and 30, allowing air above the piston 14 to exhaust through the passages 28, 35, 36, and 37. The unbalanced piston 14 is now lifted, and the valve 11 closes, and, during the time the flexible hose is being manipulated, the springs 26 and 32 raise the piston 33 and close the valves 25 and 30, and the piston 14 again becomes subjected to equal pressure and falls till the stem 15 touches the valve 11 and the channel 46 is connected with the channels 47 and 48 by means of the annular space 45. Air then flows from the auxiliary reservoir through the passages 53, 46, 47, and 48, from which it passes, after unseating one of the ball valves 49, 50, through one of two passages into that portion of the train-pipe which had previously been exhausted. As the pressure.above the piston 14 increases, it is moved further downwards, and finally unseats the valve 11. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, communication between the ports 77 and 78 is normally permitted through the open ports 74 in the bushing 73. In coupling or uncoupling, the button 87 is depressed, and air from the chamber 79 escapes to the atmosphere through the channels 83, 84, and 85, and the grooves 86, whereby the piston 69 rises and the valve 72 covers the ports 74. Air leaks through the small port 81 until the pressure on both sides of the piston is equalized, allowing the spring 75 to depress it and re-establish the connection between the train-pipe and the hose.

Abstract: 2293. Carter, A. E., and Reason Manufacturing Co. Feb. 1. Switches.-The switch is provided with two sets of contacts and with a clicking-devico so that the operator can tell by the sound and by the sense of touch when the switch is closed. The Figures show one arrangement. There are two pairs of fixed contacts 7, 8 and 9, 10, suitably insulated. The contact 7 carries a spring-controlled clicking-roller 13, and the contact 8 a carbon or sparking roller 14. The split contact-arms 3, 4 are pivoted to brackets 5, and the arm 3 is formed with recesses 15, 16 separated by projections 17, 18 for engaging with the roller 13. This switch may be used with arc lamps in series. The lamp is connected between the contacts 9, 10, and a resistance between the contacts 7, 8. When the switch is fully down, the lamp is in the circuit, but, when the switch arm is raised and in contact with the contacts 7, 8, the lamp is cut out and replaced by the resistance.

Patent GB-190111674-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Machine Guns.
Inventor: BERGMANN THEODOR
Filed: 1901-06-07
Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 11,674. Bergmann, T. June 7. Machine guns.-Fig. 1 shows the gun in vertical section with the breech closed, Fig. 6 a crosssection through the line A-B looking rearwards, Fig. 7 a vertical section with the breech open, and Fig. 16 a vertical cross-section through the cartridge clip. The barrel 1 is screwed to a frame 2 in which the breech bolt 4 slides. When the gun is discharged, the barrel, breech-frame, and breechbolt recoil together for a short distance in the outer casing 3, and, when the breech-frame is stopped by the block 24, the link-shaped locking- piece 9 is pushed down by an inclined surface on the breech-bolt, and the latter is unlocked from the breech-frame. The unlocked breech-bolt then continues its recoil movement, carrying back with it the hammer 17 and compressing the hammer spring 18 and recoil spring 21. During the opening movement, the empty cartridge case is extracted and ejected. At the termination of the recoil, the breech-bolt is at once returned by the spring 21, but the hammer is detained by the sear 13. As the breech-bolt travels forward, it first detaches a cartridge from the vertical by sliding cartridge clip a, Fig. 16, and carries it into the barrel, and then it brings its locking-recess over the locking- piece 9, which is at once pushed up by an inclined surface on the outer casing 3. The breech-bolt, thus locked to the breech-frame, continues to advance with it, and the breech-frame then raises the sear 13 to fire the gun. So long as the breechbolt is unlocked, the firing-pin 6 is locked from forward movement by a pivoted piece 7, which is blocked by the upper branch of the locking-piece 9, but, when the latter rises to lock the breechbolt, a free passage is opened for the piece 9. To operate the gun by hand, the breech-bolt is withdrawn by the rod 22, and a detent 29 for the rod 22 and a second sear 28 for the hammer 17 are then employed. The stop-block 31, for limiting the return movement of the barrel and breechframe, is made adjustable, so as to enable the distance of recoil of the breech mechanism to be reduced whenever the gun is required to fire blank ammunition. In a modification, the piece 9 is unlocked by coming against an inclined projection on the outer casing 3, instead of being depressed by the inclined surface on the breech-bolt.

Abstract: 19,068. Hennoberg, W. S., and Pape, E. C. H. Sept. 24. Amalgamating. - A metal is electrolytically deposited upon a rotating cathode, and is almost immediately converted into an amalgam. Within a vessel d is mounted a drum a capable of rotation, and having upon its outer surface eitber a number of metal strips b with radial projections i, or a single circumferential piece e with projecting bands j. The projections are staggered so as to move the liquids forward. These metal portions are connected up to form the cathode. Partly or entirely surroundiug the cathode is an anode plate g. Immediately beneath the drum, the bottom of the vessel is lined with a non-conducting substance e. At the bottom of the vessel is a layer of mercury f, which may be continuously withdrawn, and, after separation of the amalgam, returned to the vessel. Above the mercury is charged the liquid from which the metal is to be extracted. The liquid may be charged into and withdrawn from the vessel either continuously on intermittently. As the drum rotates, the metal is first deposited upon the cathode, and is then carried down to the mercury where it forms an amalgam. An escape m is provided for any gas developed.

Abstract: 4757. Luyten, J. J. Feb. 25. Signals on engines; indicators and repeaters, signal; indicating and recording movements of trains; contacts, mechanical.-For indicating the position of the ordinary signals to the engine driver during fog, or snow, &c., the indicating- apparatus shown in Fig. 3 is mounted on the engine, and is actuated by a roller c on the end of the pivoted arm b mounted on the standard a on the track. The arm b is counterweighted at e, and a weight m, having a connection l to the ordinary signal, bears on the operative end of the arm, so that the position of the arm will always correspond with the position of the signal. The indicating-mechanism comprises a contact rail w, mounted on the end of the lever n, a slide o connected to the other end of the lever, and an indicator v having three apertures 1, 2, 3 fitted with glass of different colours. The indicator is raised to indicating-position by the bracket t on the slide o, and is held in the position to which it is raised by lateral springs engaging the guides u, until returned by the driver, while the slide o and lever n are returned to normal position by the spring r, after the rail w clears the roller c. The glass in the apertures 2, 3 may be green and red, respectively. When the ordinary signal is at 'danger,' the roller c is in position to engage the rail w at the point x. In this case, the movement of the lever n by the roller raises the red glass 3 in front of the sight aperture 4. When the signal is at ' line clear,' the position of the arm b is altered, so that the roller engages the rail w at the point y, and raises the green glass into view. The slide may also be arranged to actuate a small meter or recorder, graduated to show the various signals &c. passed.

Title: Improvements in Self Twilling Jacquard Machines.
Inventor: WATSON JOHN GILLILAND
Filed: 1903-01-15
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 998. Watson, J. G. Jan. 15. Jacquards.-Self-twilling jacquard machines of the Bessbrook type, for weaving damask and like fabrics, are so constructed that certain books in those rows which would ordinarily be all lifted, or left down,may be left down or lifted, respectively, at the proper times, so as to introduce a binding thread or threads, at those parts of the figure which require to be bound. According to one arrangement, Fig. 1, each card needle c, working two hooks b, has an extra eye j<1>, through which a vertical wire or lever e is passed. The levers c work through eyes k on extra horizontal lever needles d, which have eyes k<1> embracing preceding vertical hooks b. The levers e rest on cross-bars l. Every second griffe blade a has a fulcrum piece a<1>, which, when, for example, the blade a <x> is moved to a vertical position by a twilling-bar, presses forward the corresponding lever e<x>, so that, when the card needle c<x> is moved to the right, the lever e<x> moves on the piece a<1> as a fulcrum, and pushes back the lever needle d<x> against the action of a spring. The needle dx pulls back the last hook b<o> of the preceding card needle. Thus the first hook of the needle c<x> is lifted, while the last hook of this needle and of the preceding needle are left down, thereby producing a binding effect. In a second, preferable, arrangement, Fig. 3, in addition to leaving down certain threads, others may be raised by the use of double binding-hooks m, to take out the binding of the ordinary figure twill so as to give a sharp edge to the figure. Every second hook is double, and their short arms are raised by auxiliary griffe bars n, supported at their ends by hooks u, which are raised by arms t, attached to the ordinary griffe bars a, when the griffe bars a are moved by the ordinary twilhng-bars into a vertical position. Movable bars p are moved by special twilling-bars operated by the pegs of twilling-tappets, and serve as fulcra for the levers e, which are bent at o to rest on the card needles c. At every second shot, say, in addition to the ordinary twilling-bar, two special twilling-bars may be moved, to bring into operation two successive bars p. One of these causes the last or double hook of the preceding card needle to be left down, as described above, while the other, when its lever is moved by a card needle c, causes the corresponding lever needle d to draw the short arm of the double hook m, the griffe bar a of which has been moved into a vertical position, into position to be raised by the auxiliary bar n, instead of being left down as would otherwise be the case. An arrangement for an eight-leaf twill is described, in which four special twilling-bara are used with the eight ordinary twilling-bars.

Abstract: 12,506. Soc. Franþaise de Constructions MÚcaniques (Anciens Etablissements Cail). July 11, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Gas-producers -In order to prevent the formation of clinker, the temperature of combustion is lowered by the dilution of the air supply with an excess of gas taken either from the same or another producer, water being supplied either as steam or liquid and the circulation being effected by pressure or suction. In Fig. 1, the gas-producer is shown with the contracted neck a opening to an enlargement b, into which the mixture of air with the gas taken from the upper end of the producer is produced by the fan c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the fuel and ash are spread against the gas and air channels d, d<1> by means of arched spaces e, e<1>. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the producer is supplied with the gaseous mixture from an external source and is formed with one arched space g, or by leaving a passage on each side for the descent of fuel and ash. The circulation, in this case, is effected by the compressed-air injector f.
